Traditional folklore has spoken of guardian angels who guide and
protect us. However, although there are numerous stories of the
miraculous intervention of these beings, some people still write
them off as myth and superstition. Based on his own personal
experience and cognition, Rudolf Steiner spoke of guardian angels
and other spiritual beings as a reality. Their existence, he said,
is a spiritual and scientific fact that can be researched and
studied by clairvoyance. One of his aims was to enable people to
connect again with these spiritual beings not only for their own
benefit, but also for the benefit of the other kingdom of nature
and the whole destiny of the earth's evolution. In his writings and
lectures Steiner intended to lead people from belief to
recognition, knowledge, and understanding of spiritual beings. In
these six specially selected lectures, which until now have lain
hidden away in very early publications or journals, he describes
the role of the guardian angel and discusses our relationship to
the heavenly hierarchies of spiritual beings as a whole and how
they shape our human form as a result of their cosmic activity. As
many people today are awakening to angelic guidance in their daily
lives and are seeking it consciously, these lectures will help them
to understand their experiences and to make their communication
more conscious.
Unlock the key to a universal life-force with the companion volume
to the "New York Times" bestseller "The Source Field
Investigations"
In "The Source Field Investigations, "David Wilcock illuminated an
entirely new understanding of our world today. Now, he embarks on
an astonishing investigation into what lies beyond--finding proof
that everything in our lives is not only connected, but it also
influences everything else.
Using history, astrology, and synchronicity theory among other
concepts, Wilcock shows that there is hidden architecture within
time, guiding individuals and nations through a system of
enlightenment Joseph Campbell called the Hero's Journey. Historical
events occur in shockingly precise, repeating cycles of time as a
result. Once we understand and identify the hidden laws of this
seemingly random "synchronicity," we are left with a remarkable
blueprint of how best to lead our lives in this uncertain and
confusing world.
In this work, H. Spencer Lewis leads an investigation and
discussion on the cyclical hidden forces which work to alter and
affect our lives each day. Notable within the occult movement for
his research and accounts of forces unknown, Lewis pioneered a
system that explains much of the unusual events that beset both
people and the world at large. Namely that a supreme and unending
series of cycles permeate the universe, themselves influenced by
cosmic forces acting beyond our planet and solar system. These
forces span all manner of things; life and death, the creation of
souls, and the very passage of time. Each of the phenomena for
which the cyclical forces are responsible receive explanation.
Lewis was fascinated by this background energy, and would even
invent devices intended to detect and measure cosmic rays. This
book also acts as a life guide; by observing, predicting and acting
according to the cyclical phenomena in our lives, we may enjoy
fortune, prosperity and harmony in everyday existence.
Increasing numbers of professionals in the fields of psychology and
therapy are seeking to incorporate elements of spirituality into
their therapeutic oeuvre, addressing not only mental and emotional
issues, but also the soul. This book discloses how indigenous
traditions can be adapted to offer practitioners a highly effective
repertoire of insights, psycho-spiritual approaches and therapeutic
tools. The underlying concepts and world-views of indigenous and
contemporary shamanism are explained and tied in with current
developments in psychology and science. After clarifying altered
states of perception, concepts of integrative wholeness of mind,
body, soul and spirit and transformative shamanic 'healing'
approaches, the book goes on to outline concrete contemporary tools
and techniques that can be applied directly to work with clients.
It presents research, examples and case studies throughout. This
will be enlightening and compelling reading for psychologists,
therapists, counsellors and coaches looking for profound insights
and innovative methods of practice that cater for the whole human
psyche, reaching beyond contemporary Western mind and body
approaches.
The Society for Psychical Research was established in 1882 to
further the scientific study of consciousness, but it arose in the
surf of a larger cultural need. Victorians were on the hunt for
self-understanding. Mesmerists, spiritualists, and other romantic
seekers roamed sunken landscapes of entrancement, and when
psychology was finally ready to confront these altered states,
psychical research was adopted as an experimental vanguard. Far
from a rejected science, it was a necessary heterodoxy, probing
mysteries as diverse as telepathy, hypnosis, and even seance
phenomena. Its investigators sought facts far afield of physical
laws: evidence of a transcendent, irreducible mind. The New
Prometheans traces the evolution of psychical research through the
intertwining biographies of four men: chemist Sir William Crookes,
depth psychologist Frederic Myers, ether physicist Sir Oliver
Lodge, and anthropologist Andrew Lang. All past presidents of the
society, these men brought psychical research beyond academic
circles and into the public square, making it part of a shared,
far-reaching examination of science and society. By layering their
papers, textbooks, and lectures with more intimate texts like
diaries, letters, and literary compositions, Courtenay Raia returns
us to a critical juncture in the history of secularization, the
last great gesture of reconciliation between science and sacred
truths.
Star of Kindred Spirits and paranormal investigator Amy Bruni
shares stories from her years of experiences with ghosts, organized
around thirteen truths that guide her approach to the supernatural.
Amy Bruni, co-star of Kindred Spirits and one of the world's
leading paranormal investigators, has learned a lot about ghosts
over her years of research and first-hand experience. Now, in Life
with the Afterlife, she shares the insight she has gleaned and how
it has shaped her unique approach to interacting with the spirits
of the dead and those who encounter them. From her earliest
supernatural encounters as a child, through her years appearing on
Ghost Hunters and the creation of her company Strange Escapes,
which offers paranormal excursions to some of America's most
notoriously haunted destinations, and into her current work on The
Travel Channel's Kindred Spirits, this book is full of astonishing
and deeply moving stories of Amy's efforts to better understand the
dead but not yet departed. With Amy's bright humor and fierce
compassion for both those who are haunted and those who are
haunting, Life with the Afterlife is an eye-opening look at what
connects us as people, in life and beyond. A USA Today Bestseller

Herbert Silberer's examinations of alchemy and the occult, and his
attempts to correlate the two crafts to the pursuit of
psychoanalysis, is published here complete with the original
illustrations. First published in 1917, this text represents the
extensive investigations Herbert Silberer undertook in order to map
occurrences in the occult with the ascendant psychoanalytic
disciplines present in the Vienna School of which he was part. This
text is marked by its depth of research, with sources such as
Hermes Trismegistus, Flamel, Lacinius, Michael Meier, Paracelsus,
and Boehme quoted and drawn upon in service of Silberer's thesis.
The support of alchemy as a spiritual movement, on the same level
as the yoga traditions of the Indian subcontinent, is also notable.
Together with the three original illustrations, this edition also
contains the extensive bibliography and notes of Silberer.
